House prices continue to rise, but signs market slowdown may be on the way | WATCH

Auckland’s property values rose by 2.4 per cent in April, taking the average value to $1.25 million, nearly a 16 per cent increase in the past year.

But that number was even higher in some of the nation’s other major centres.

In Hamilton, annual growth is now 20 per cent, with a house now costing $760,000, while in Tauranga, a 19 per cent rise sees an average house setting back buyers over $900,000.

House prices are dangerously close to surpassing the million dollar mark in Wellington, with 23 per cent growth.
